  • Chill: Icehouse Tavern is opening later this month

    James Mazzio had hoped that the Icehouse Tavern, the replacement that the Momo brothers are putting into the former home of Via at 1801 Wynkoop Street, would be ready to go by June 1. But the place is going through a complete overhaul -- with award-winning chef Mazzio doing some of the construction work himself -- and now that date has been pushed back a few weeks. But the Icehouse Tavern should be worth the wait. "We're doing simple comfort food, comfort food the way I came from it," Mazzio ex

  • Action at the Icehouse

    No, Via's not coming back (although AOL sure made it look that way the other day, when it LoDo restaurant -- defunct for many months -- on its home page). But we hear the Momo family, which didn't find the commercial success with Via, even with famed chef James Mazzio in the kitchen, that they have with Cherry Creek's Cucina Colore, will soon be resurrecting the space at 1801 Wynkoop Street as the Icehouse Tavern. Which will make the space's fifth incarnation, by our reckoning (counting back fr

    Photo by Jonathan Shoup To celebrate Colorado Architecture Month, the state chapter of the American Institute of Architects has paired up with local chefs for the Delicious Design program, creating desserts inspired by specific buildings in Colorado. Thursday's dessert was from Steuben's, Friday's featured design from Carelli's in Boulder, yesterday's was at Root Down, and today we introduce those distinctive white peaks...of DIA.

    James Mazzio couldn't keep Neighborhood Flix from going dark.The action is heating up at the Icehouse, 1801 Wynkoop Street, where the Icehouse Tavern could open as early as June 1. It's another project by the Momo brothers, who'd owned Via, the previous occupant of the space, and run Cucina Colore in Cherry Creek. And James Mazzio, Via's last chef and a man with a very impressive resume, will be back in the kitchen. As Mazzio tells it, "We're just standing outside one day, and Venanzio [Momo] i

When I dropped in on Friday and spoke with co-owner Caroline Momo-Torres, the construction crews were putting the final touches on the bright space, which was strewn with oddly familiar red leather chairs. Turns out I'd seen those chairs at Via, the Italian restaura

And before the Icehouse Tavern makes its debut, they'll be opening Colore Pizza Moderna at 2700 South Broadway on June 15. But th

We've just gotten word that LoHi SteakBar, the new restaurant spearheaded by Joe Vostrejs and chef-partner Sean Kelly, is opening tomorrow evening at 6 p.m. in the former home of North Star Brewery at 3200 Tejon Street, which is exactly seven hours (that would be 11 a.m.) after James Mazzio unlocks the doors to the Ice House Tavern at 1801 Wynkoop Street, a mere three days after Mazzio's second projected opening date of June 22nd.

And in the kitchen, the crew, headed by chef James Mazzio, must have collectively stopped what they were doing, burried their heads in momentary defeat and agreed, at least for that moment, that two hours into their first day of service, li

    Lori Midson​James Mazzio poured his heart and soul -- and a lot of elbow grease -- into Icehouse Tavern, the comfort food restaurant at 1801 Wynkoop Street that took the place of Via and opened in July, after Mazzio had done much of the renovation work himself. "I redid the deck, I'm redoing the bathrooms myself, too," Mazzio said this spring. "When you put your own blood, sweat and tears into the place, it makes it really feel like yours." But as of Monday, Mazzio is out of the Icehouse

  • Update: Mark Berzins talks about Icehouse Tavern

    ​ If you read yesterday's post about chef James Mazzio's exit from Icehouse Tavern and the uh...unusual changes taking place there, you already have the background for this story. But for those of you who might've missed it (and are too lazy to click on the link above), here are the basics. Over the weekend, Icehouse Tavern owner Venanzio Momo did a sudden about-face and turned what had been a half-breed fine-dining restaurant-slash-LoDo bar into the uncomplicated tavern that he'd alway

  • James Mazzio has a new ooh la la chef gig at Le Chateau

    ​"I've just become the chef of Le Chateau," writes James Mazzio, one-time Food & Wine magazine Best New Chef winner and until recently the exec at the Icehouse Tavern, 1801 Wynkoop Street. But that stint ended early this month when the "high-powered" Mazzio was turned loose by powers higher than him -- the Little Pub Co. that's now running the place. But it sounds like Mazzio has landed somewhere where he'll have more control. "I'll be releasing a new menu on Friday, November 6, one day b

    ​Yesterday I kicked off "Staffing Up," with some free advice for how Mark & Isabella can get its act together. But the idea doesn't have to be confined to restaurants that need a swift, motivating kick in the ass; reading through these blog posts for the last few days, I realize that we can also use it as a kind of fantasy football league for cooks -- building a perfect crew from the ground up for restaurants that haven't yet begun to serve. For example, Den Deli is throwing an old-fashi
